Winter Veil is over for the year, but it's still frosty outside – and everyone wants something to make 'em feel as warm and cozy as a bedbug in an Ironforge inn. Reader Lenny sent us his solution, in the form of a Warcraft-inspired drink he concocted on New Year's Eve.Sideways Snowman
¾ shot Hpnotiq®
¾ shot vanilla vodka
Sprite®
Over half a glass of ice, add 3/4 shot of Hpnotiq® and 3/4 shot of vanilla vodka. Stir a bit, and pour in Sprite® to fill.
Lenny advises us that you can leave the Sideways Snowman relatively unstirred for a stronger effect as you drink it down, or mix it thoroughly for a more consistent flavor. Either way, we think this sounds worthy of a Winterspring frost!
[Thanks, Lenny!]

No Seven-up is not a Pepsi product. Sierra Mist is a Pepsi product. Seven-up is a product of Dr-Pepper/Seven-up which is now part of the Cadberry Schweps.
Many people think Dr-Pepper is a Coke product and Seven-up a Pepsi product because many Coca-cola bottlers have Dr-Pepper rights and Pepsi bottlers have Seven-up rights.
Outside the US Seven-up is almost exclusively licensed by Pepsi.

I must have missed the memo that said that alcohol was banned and no one should drink, ever. WoW promotes drinking, tard. I'm embarrassed to share a name with you.

I thought this comment was a joke. I don't personally drink much, but I'm not offended by the fact that others do. So, I assumed he was kidding. Maybe not?!?

Haha, I love it. Nice comments.
I think the issue the grayed-out commenter has with this post is that WoW is played by millions of under-age individuals, and that exposing them to alcohol could lead to potentially illegal behaviors. But there is a problem with that logic: in putting the responsibility of presentation on Blizzard and WoW Insider, you are in effect removing parental responsibility from the equation. That, simply, isn't responsible in of itself.
The issue here is about parenting. I say this as a soon-to-be daddy of a baby girl, and the responsibility that comes with that position scares me so much. But, raising her will be my job, and my job only. Not a company's job. Not a website's job. My job.
Making light of that perspective is very key in understanding "responsibility" itself.

Via Wikipedia:
"HPNOTIQ is a 35 proof (17% ABV) French fruit liqueur made from vodka, a touch of cognac, and tropical fruit juices. It is available in the United States and over 30 countries worldwide including, the United Kingdom, Canada, Sweden, Australia, Japan, The Netherlands and France. The drink itself is blue in color."
I got a bottle. It was ok... I liked it better replacing Vanilla Vodka with Vanilla Rum.

No, I'm more concerned with the children that might view this site. As for the feeble attempts at putting me down, it didn't work, because in the end you're just a tickle in your daddies balls sack that just happened to escape.

....and children are going to make their own Sideways Snowman?
I don't see the problem here.

You're going to say you're concerned about children reading this then say something like this??? o.0
I find this comment more inappropriate for children than an article about something you see adds for on TV, in magazines, on billboards… heck; everywhere.

Alchohol, and children, and the internet are all responsibilities... if the comments of the column show anything its that we appreciate WFB's delicious drink ideas.
